Too Much Truth


H. Lewis Amselem (The Diplomad) has written a takedown of Hellary Clinton that every thinking American voter should read before they are tempted to pull the lever for her on November 8th. It is written in the form of a speech that he would like Donald Trump to give. Unfortunately, the Diplomad writes in a different style and for a different audience from Trump ... more like you and me ... so Trump is unlikely to use this bit of ghost writing. However, you can still imagine him overloading us with these eloquent truths to help us appreciate our choices more clearly ... see: The Diplomad Blog. Or better yet, read it below. It is so rich with reality, you might want to read it in digestible morsels. I don't think Mr. Amselem would mind my reproducing it here:

Ladies, Gentlemen, Basement Dwellers, Irredeemables, and Deplorables All,

On November 8, you and I will vote for President and Congress. We will be joined on that day by thousands upon thousands of dead Democrats and illegal aliens, so make sure you turn out to cancel the massive fraud that the Democrats are planning. Let's make sure that the voice we hear is of US citizens, alive today but concerned about the tomorrow they leave their children. We don't want America to be like the USSR, Cuba, Venezuela, or Detroit. All examples of where the path of progressivism leads.

We are facing a tipping point between a vision of liberty and individual freedom and that of a progressive nanny state that will decide what you can say, what you can believe and think, and how much if any of your money you can keep for yourselves and your family. We are voting between a vision of America as a country based on universal values that apply to us all. We are for a country of accountable leaders who 99% of the time leave us the hell alone, and let us work out our own path to the pursuit of happiness. Our opponents, Obama, Clinton and our morally bankrupt universities and media, promote a country full of grievances and entitlements, one in which the ruling elite will deal with those grievances and entitlements as benefits the ruling elite. Our opponents want a country of no accountability, of laws that apply only to us, the Deplorables, but not to the anointed. If, for example, we handle classified information in a sloppy and "extremely careless way" we go to jail; if they do, they get nominated to be President. They want a country where if you speak up you get labelled deplorable, irredeemable, and racist. And the compliant media goes along.

They want a country divided by race; we want a country dedicated to the advancement of the human race: the only race that counts.   

We have an opponent who attacks me for taking legal tax deductions--look at her deductions, donations to the Clinton Foundation. We have an opponent who distorts and brings up incidents from my past as a businessman, such as occasional failures from among the thousands of efforts I have made to invest, to grow the wealth of my companies, and to employ thousands of people and give them good salaries and opportunities for advancement. We have an opponent who claims to have been "dead broke" when she and her husband left the White House. She doesn't mention why they were "dead broke." They spent a fortune on lawyers combatting the scandals of the Clinton years in power.

Well, she is certainly not "dead broke" anymore.

She and her husband are worth perhaps hundreds of millions of dollars. Where are the Clinton factories, retail outlets, hotels, and skyscrapers that provide employment and tax revenues? Don't exist. They got rich in the classic crony capitalist way of the beltway bandit. Hillary and Bill Clinton received fabulous sums for speeches to fat cats on Wall Street and abroad. On Hillary's speeches, what's amazing is that in this era of leaks and hacks and covert IPhone recordings, nobody has seen or heard those speeches. What did she say? To whom? All nonsense, of course. It was just the classic Clinton "pay-to-play" scheme. What could Hillary Clinton have to say of such value to Goldman Sachs that they would pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to hear her give a dull thirty minute talk? How about this? Don't worry guys when I get into power I will take care of you. And the compliant media goes along.

We have an opponent who promises all sorts of things, well, that is when she's not insulting those who oppose her. She says she is for women. Really? What's her record? I'll tell you what it is: it is one of demonizing and trying to destroy women whose only crime was to tell the truth of how they had been abused by her husband. That's her record. And the compliant media goes along.

In every policy area she addresses, we must ask, well, while you were in power what did you do about that? Nothing is what she did. Nothing. She has spent almost three decades roaming the corridors of power and has nothing to show for it --- except for hundreds of millions of dollars and a very nice walled compound in Chappaqua. It has a very nice wall. I might use it as a model for another wall.

She says she is for African-Americans and Hispanics. Really? Is that what her record shows? Not at all. She has never questioned the Democratic party policies that have led to the destruction of Detroit and so many other great American cities. She has never questioned the policies that have led to the crumbling schools to which residents, overwhelmingly African-America, of those cities are forced to send their children. She has never expressed concern about the thousands of black kids killed in Chicago by gangs. No, instead, she called black kids, "Super Predators." She has a habit of putting people into baskets, Deplorables, Basement Dwellers, Super Predators.

And Hispanics? Guess what? She doesn't care about you either--except on November 8. Don't forget this was the person who was Secretary of State when Obama declared a covert war on the people of Mexico with "Operation Fast and Furious." The administration illegally shipped thousands of guns to drug cartels, killing hundreds of innocent Mexicans, not to mention at least two US federal agents. Even the drug lord El Chapo got a .50 caliber rifle from Obama. Did our Secretary of State ever speak up? Did she raise an objection to this illegal and immoral policy? Did she apologize to Mexico? To the families of the dead US agents? No. Mexicans in Mexico can't vote for her, and our border agents won't either, so she doesn't care. And the compliant media goes along.

She has supported horrendous trade deals which have destroyed American jobs. She once called the disastrous TPP deal, the "gold standard" of trade deals and has been walking that back since the campaign began. She wants to put coal and oil workers out of work, and replace them with the sort of crony deals we saw in the Solyndra fiasco. 

Around the world, the interests of the United States and our allies are in collapse. Everywhere we look we are in retreat or defeat. NATO is a directionless shell. Our military is in severe decline. The policies of Obama and Clinton produced bloody chaos in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and, of course, in Libya. Her grotesque incompetence in Libya left our facilities in Benghazi exposed to the attack of--you guessed it--radical Islamic jihadis. A phrase she won't use. She will call you Deplorable, but she won't label the terrorists who killed our people in Benghazi, in Ft. Hood, in San Bernardino, in Orlando, and so many other places, what they are: radical Islamic jihadis. Instead she tried to get the radical Muslim Brotherhood into power in Egypt, and tried to prevent the Egyptian military and people from throwing them out. She has put Israel in mortal danger by pushing and supporting the insane nuclear deal with Iran in which we give them $150 billion in exchange for . . . well, nothing. She and Obama have helped Iran, the world's greatest state sponsor of terror, become a major regional power; Iran, which has sworn death to Israel and to America, is to be rewarded. I have not heard her talk about how Christians, Bahais, gays, and women are treated in Iran, or for that matter in many of the Muslim countries in the Middle East. Can't do that: It might get them to cut their donations to the corrupt Clinton Foundation. While she was Secretary of State she ran a "
pay to play" scheme in which donors to the Foundation got access to her. She so mismanaged the State Department that to this day, billions in aid for Haiti is still missing. And the compliant media goes along.

Her illegal and, yes, immoral use of a private server on which to conduct official State Department business has exposed our nation's secrets and, perhaps, even led to the death of an intelligence source. She even had exchanges with the President on this system, something which Obama had denied. So when I hear her talk about her concern for cybersecurity, I have to laugh. And the compliant media goes along.

Hillary Clinton and the Democrats don't want us to defend our borders or our sovereignty. They want endless numbers of people to pour in, unchecked, to pad the voter rolls, and become dependent on government largesse controlled, of course, by the Democratic party machine. They don't care about the impact these immigration and asylum polices have on the poor or the middle class. The Democrats need to have poor people. They thrive on misery. The know there is no way to vet the tens-of-thousands of Middle Eastern refugees. They don't care; one day they'll vote Democrat is the thinking.

Electing Hillary Clinton is re-electing a stagnant economy; it is re-electing the political use of the NSA, the FBI, the IRS, the EPA, and so many more of the Washington agencies. Electing her is a sure way to wipe out the second amendment and so many other of our rights. She wants the government involved in every aspect of your life and wants the government to take what you have earned not only while you are alive, but even after you're dead. It makes sense, I guess: a political party that famously uses the votes of dead people has no problem taxing the dead, too. And the compliant media goes along.

Reject the progressives and their effort to transform America into another failed socialist state. Vote for liberty; vote for a prosperous and free future. Make America Great Again!


[Wild applause and cheering]

Btw Amselem is a Bush OAS ambassador renowned for a "sordid" history in Honduras in 2009. So I position him as a cross between Ted Nugent and Dick Cheney. Not that there is anything wrong with that...

DEN said...

I read it, but am not feeling more enlightened. You probably didn't notice but it is loaded with the same one-sided, lame, and sometimes laughable, accusations you and he have been making all along.
If you could look at Trump's record with the same cynical and critical eye, you might not be so sure that Clinton is worse.

It's very sad, George, that you buy into this crap. So did the Germans in the 1930s. Wake up.

I think it was Goebbels who said that if you tell a lie often enough, it becomes the truth.

George W. Potts said...

Amselem is Jewish ...

I do look at Trump's record and realize he is not a choirboy ... but I think there is at least a chance he will rein in our horse before we go off a cliff ...

George W. Potts said...

I think that anytime you bring up Hitler or the Nazis you have lost the argument. But, yes, I am a little worried about what Trump might become. I am more worried about what Hellary is.

George W. Potts said...

Yet we clearly are a country more divided by race than what we were 8 years ago. Is this an accident?

George W. Potts said...

But, as we are learning, Bush is also a card-carrying member of the establishment ... ergo, he is no longer quite so evil.

Ok, Judeo-Christian.

George W. Potts said...

Is that like a white-Hispanic?

DEN said...

Funny, that's the same reaction I feel when you say "Benghazi."

DEN said...

I blame Birthers, of which you and Trump were founding members. Check out some of your own posts on the topic.

And terrorism is caused by climate change ...
